Daily fishing verdict · 2026-09-07
Sunny Labor Day, cooling water — but oxygen's still rough.
Water's sitting at 66.9°F and cooling, flow is steady at 527 cfs, and it's a sunny one out there — on paper, a decent smallmouth setup. The catch is dissolved oxygen at 3.1 mg/L, which is tough on fish; they're stressed and likely sluggish, so don't be surprised if the bite is hard to find. Early king salmon arrivals are possible, though conditions aren't dialed in for them yet either.
